G  
The voices in my head are shadows, shadows 
She comes to me, to tell me what they're after 
C  
Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful 
G   
Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle 
G 
The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples 
In flashing lights I swear she wore old film then the  
C 
Colour bleeds and she 
Becomes an angel, angel,  
G 
hmmm 
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel and I 

Am  
Say  ..   .come on 
G 
child  ..and I 

Am 
Say   come on  

G 
Child 


C 
The blanket where she hides my virgin lights 
C 
Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike staring  
Dm 
At your knees but I don't have the words right, words right now 
C  
If up to me my maker turned right, turned right 
Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles 
Black lovely nights and the 
Am 
Steady sea for miles says she  
Dm 
Wants, o wants to stay a child, child now 
C 
And wonders why we ever, ever have to die and I 

Am  
Say......come on 
G 
child....and I 

Am 
Say.....come on  

G 
Child 
  
  
(Stay in G) 

G  
Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry 
Another time where I probably shared the same life the  

C 
Accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now 
G 
It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I  

Am  
Say.......come on 
G 
child....and I 

Am 
Say....come on  

G      C 
Child 

C  
Love love love love  
G 
Love
